Tis’ the season to give! The Houma Area Convention and Visitors Bureau are playing Santa’s little helper this holiday season. The center is hosting a Toy Drive distribution for 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. on December 11, at the Visitors Center located at 114 Tourist Drive in Gray, Louisiana.
The Houma Area CVB has been collecting toys to help families in Terrebonne Parish who were affected by Hurricane Ida put gifts under the Christmas tree this holiday season. The distribution is free to the public and will not require registration. It will be first come, first serve basis, with one toy distributed per child. There will also be a free gift wrapping station set up in the conference room to offer the opportunity to wrap their child’s gift.
“We’re allowing the parents and guardians to come in and choose a toy, so that the kids won’t know that the gifts are coming from us, that way the parents can give it to their kids from themselves or from Santa to give them that sense of pride,” says Visitors Services Specialist Shelby Guildry.
